A 24-year-old Fox News Channel production assistant was fired this morning for something she said during the red carpet arrivals at the Time 100 Gala last night.

Insiders tell us the assistant, identified as Jennifer Locke, was on assignment with a camera crew to cover the entertainment angle of the event. When Sen. John McCain walked by, the assistant said, "I voted for you in the primary, you're going to win."

This surprises me, as FOX News obviously rewards other employees for their loudmouthed far-right opinions by giving them their own primetime shows. By firing an employee for expressing their personal views, they are attempting to make their "fair and balanced" claim authentic. Are they going to fire O'Reilly or Hannity next? Probably not, their ratings are far too high. I wouldn't be surprised if they publicize this firing in an effort to brainwash viewers into believing that they actually aren't biased.

Jennifer Locke, having McMean as president will do you far more harm then working at Fox. You'll be fine, but you are still stupid.

Geez, I thought that cat was out of the bag about Fox a long time ago.

Big deal, so they fire some young nobody for revealing that she is part of the Republican Ministry of Propaganda. When they fire Bill O'Lielly for promoting Bush administration policies by claiming on multiple occasions that the perpetrators of the Malmedy massacre were American GIs and the victims were the S.S., let me know.

There nothing more appealing than Bill O'Reilly's firing. A pink slip and a nice bed of vegetables to go with it.

O'Reilly would have to slap Al Sharpton live on TV to make a firing a posibility. You don't dump the #1 show in cable news for the last 8 years fir basically anything. Do you see Fox or CBS trying to get rid of the NFL?

I think seeing Sean Hannity fired would be the next best thing to a Democratic victory in November. Almost as good...

I'm surprised they didn't give her a promotion for being a good Republican foot soldier. Their on-air personalities are blatant, unabashed Republican shills, why is it bad for one of the underlings to admit to toeing the line?

It wasn't the "disclosure" it was the way she drooled all over his silk suit. Ruined it.

Ha, ha, ha. They fire a production assistant, while their on-air personalities run amok at the mouth. I suppose this is part of their effort to remain fair and balanced.

But their on air personalities always keep it fair and balanced, I keep telling you it is in their contract.

Knowing Fox, she probably failed the miniskirt test and they're just using her comments as an excuse.

Why do you think they are # 1 the miniskirts work.

They work, but only if you mute the sound so you don't have to actually listen to any bullshit right-wing propaganda. I like my fascist Fox girls to be seen and never heard.

Interesting to see how this unlawful termination suit goes.

She has no case she violated the fair and balanced clause in her contract.

Fair & balanced? Are you kidding me? Is Sean Hannity fair or balanced? What about O'reily is he fair or balanced...?

A harbinger of what is yet to come to everyone who crosses and outfoxes?

She was fired for telling the truth on Faux. That was unacceptable!
